Oh, smokestack lightnin`, shinin` just like gold
Why can`t you hear me cryin`? Ooooo
Oh, stop your train, let a hobo ride
Why can`t you hear me cryin`? Ooooo
Oh, fare you well, I never see you no more
Why can`t you hear me cryin`? Ooooo
Oh, stop your train, let a poor boy ride, callin` yes I do
Let a poor boy ride, let his foot step on
Oh, who`ve been you baby, since I`ve been gone
